Question A - Periodic Signals Revisited

I chose to use the CT (continuous time)periodic signal: y(t) = cos(t). The signal can be expressed as both periodic and non-periodic in DT (discrete time).

Discrete Time, Non-Periodic: Cos[n] is non-periodic in discrete time whenever it isn't sampled at $ \pi $, $ 2\pi $, or $ \pi/2 $ (or any other multiple of $ \pi $). a[n + T] = a[n] for an integer T.
